I shoot a lot of Pentax film cameras and during lockdown learnt how to service the shutters of some (SVs, S1a, Spotmatics and K series). I generally shoot cameras in pairs, one colour and one black and white.


The mirror box has been removed and the shutter and mirror box mechanism cleaned and lubricated. The mirror bumper foam replaced as well as the light seals in the film compartment. I have no way of checking the shutter speeds but theres visually no indication of any capping. The film negatives are regularly spaced and evenly exposed. The focus screen is clear and bright as is the mirror, the auto aperture works as do the flash ports.


The body cosmetically in excellent condition with only the slightest scuffing of the brushed aluminium finish from only light careful use over the last 50ish years. One of the screw heads by the viewfinder sheared during servicing but has no detrimental effect on use (see photo).


The lens is a Super Takumar 55mm f1.8 the glass is  clean and fungus free. It has an even smooth resistance on the focus rings and precise click from the aperture. The iris is nice and snappy with no lag.


The camera is offered with a clip on light meter which I haven't checked beyond it reacts to light and dark, it seems okay - see photo though I tend to rely on a phone light meter app. Also included is a ever ready case that will hold the meter as well. Body cap for the camera and front and rear caps for the lens.
